You spend a gazillion hours needlessly redesigning your lame-ass website – yet again – only to realize that you’ve managed to create something that looks like a freebie template from some old express version of a Microsoft product…

I just wanted some color, you know? … and to get rid of borders around everything – so claustrophobic! And for what it’s worth, the header image was created from an actual photo from my window, so it’s more personally relevant than it looks.

Another minor change is that the age of the posts are now being shown on the front page [under each post title], rather than just the date and times. When you’re interested in "freshness", knowing that an entry was posted 7 hours ago is more useful than being told that it was posted at 5:10 pm on Monday, December 13th, 2004 [GMT+???] I got the idea from Michael Heilemann, who keeps a very tidy site indeed [he even started using auto-complete in his search box before Google Suggest !] and whose original Kubrick CSS I have been steadily mangling in the service of my pathological* urge to revise.

* This entry was originally going to be called something like “The Pathology of Constant Revision” , but then I realized I wasn’t 100% sure that that would mean what I want it to mean, and that I wasn’t about do write anything so deep as to justify that title, so I decided to go with something a little more… approachable.
